For the last time
I said goodbye
Choking back tears
You so pale and weak
Thinner than I
Ever thought possible
So many times
The call came
Hurry home
It won't be long now
Yet you remain
Gladdened by my presence
Regaining strength
Over and over
I say goodbye

I'm afraid I don't have any photos for you. Actually, I
have lots of pictures, but the files were too large to upload here!
Anyway, if it's all the same to you, the topic of energy
and inspiration got me thinking...

Of all the American holidays, and there are many, the
4th of July is my favorite.Living
so far away, it’s the one I miss the most and I can never
help feeling homesick.I
miss the barbeques, the smoked turkeys, yes, even the jello molds
and ambrosia salad.… Read full post »

Why do we tweet? Is anyone actually reading? Don't
they have anything better to do? I sometimes think that the
internet, however connected it makes us feel, really isolates us.
What do I do when I feel lonely and all of my friends are
otherwise engaged? Do I go ou… Read full post »

love
fully felt
strains my heart
which has lost its tone
from lack of use
pounding fiercely
relentlessly
threatening to break free
of its delicate confines
unbearable and exhilarating
all at once
wavering between discomfort
and euphoria
racing for dear life
in a marathon

Hey there! So I finally decided to start blogging regularly
again inspite of my grueling work schedule, even if it meant
staying up until 2am every night, and what happens?! OS is
threatening to disappear! The Fates are in rare form this
week. I hope this won't be my la… Read full post »

so nice
he seems
that's what
he wants
you to think
doing his best
is so easy
for a moment
such a
stand up guy
and I
endlessly tortured
by a cruelty
beyond my comprehension
have barely
the strength
or desire
to explain to you
who cannot see… Read full post »

I've always hated large meetings with a
passion. Why, when I know so many others who
live for them? Do I think I can get the job done
better alone? Probably, although it can be
impractical and exhausting. Do they bore me to
tears? Some… Read full post »

So I was hanging out with some friends after a baseball game
last weekend. We were barbecuing, drinking
Amstel swill, talking trash, having a good time, and listening to
the same 6 summer hits playing over and over, ad
nauseum. We were listening to Lloyd and… Read full post »

Sometimes
I wonder
if the stars
gazing out
over the night sky
are equally taken
with our beauty
delighted
by our light
and do they
connect the dots
draw pictures
in the heavens
using us
as a dimple
on the cheek
of some fair goddessRead full post »

I haven't been doing much creative writing
lately. Being a fledgling entrepreneur seems to
have taken over my life. Don't get me wrong,
it's very exciting and our success makes me feel proud and
accomplished, but my head has become so full of snatches of poems
and stories that I… Read full post »

Today was a dark day in my baking history.
This morning started out quite well. I got up in
time, went to the gym, and was back by 9 AM to start
working. We had a full day
planned. On our “To Bake” list, were
one double New York Cheesecake, one… Read full post »
